Why Bluetooth stalls in cars
Kelvyn Taylor describes problems
linking an I-Mate Jam smartphone
to the Bluetooth facilities in a Seat
Altea car (Bluetooth drives into trouble,
18 July).
The problem is that the I-Mate’s
manufacturer, HTC – which
also makes O2’s XDA and similar
handsets for other networks – has
only enabled its Bluetooth software
to work with a headset. It will never
work with any car kit.
Once the IMate
has paired with a headset it
should stop looking for other Bluetooth
devices, so its ongoing
attempts to link to the Altea suggest
it is faulty.
